Marcus Morris lit into the Suns for trading him to the Pistons, but he's happy to be in Detroit.

"I wouldn't say stunning, but in Phoenix, I would say I didn't have a great opportunity," he said. "Everybody knew how bad I wanted to play with my brother. Phoenix knew. For them to trade me without consent or telling me was like a slap in the face, because of the contract I took from those guys and the money I took from them. I'm happy to be here. I'm a Piston. I'm a Bad Boy. I'm ready to get started.'' Morris is expected to battle rookie Stanley Johnson for the starting small forward spot. Jul 13 - 9:11 AM

Marcus Morris said he's not worried about his felony assault charge affecting this upcoming season.

"Hell no," Morris said when asked to address the issue. "I’m not going to speak on the case or anything, but I will be here. I will be playing this season and that will be over soon." The Suns broke up the Morrii and Marcus now has a great chance to start at small forward. Although, he had a horrible finish last season when the Suns needed him and rookie Stanley Johnson was a revelation at Orlando Pro Summer League. Coach Stan Van Gundy will want his small forwards to take treys, so Morris is on the radar in all leagues. Jul 10 - 3:41 PM

Marcus Morris, Danny Granger and Reggie Bullock have been traded to the Pistons for future draft picks.

The Suns will receive a 2020 second-round draft pick, so this is obviously a salary-shedding move for Phoenix, as they set their sights on LaMarcus Aldridge. The Pistons reportedly made this move to insert Morris into the starting lineup at the small forward position, so he should see a bump in fantasy value in Detroit. However, Morris isn't a great rebounder, and doesn't bring a lot to the defensive categories, so he likely won't be much more than a 3-point specialist. Additionally, Morris' arrival really hurts the value of Stanley Johnson. Jul 2 - 3:37 PM

Marcus and Markieff Morris plead no guilty to two felony assault charges on Thursday.

The Morris twins will next appear in court on June 30 on the charges stemming from an altercation with a man they said sent an inappropriate text to their mother. If found guilty, the both Markieff and Marcus would likely face discipline from the league, but we'll update this situation after their next court date. May 7 - 12:24 PM

Brandon Jennings (Achilles) is progressing in his rehab, but still isn't running and may miss the start of the regular season, according to Pistons head coach Stan Van Gundy.

While Jennings is aiming to be ready for the start of the regular season, Van Gundy doesn't seem to think that's a sure thing. "Obviously still not at the point of running or anything," Van Gundy said. "Can start to do a little bit more activity all the time. We're hopeful. We've still got about 14 weeks before the season opens. We've got a long time. We're hoping that he will be back and ready to play but it may not be at the beginning of the year." We'll keep an eye on Jennings' progress, but he's not much more than a late-round flier in standard fantasy league drafts at this point.
